Ambulatory fall sensor

Ambulatory fall sensors are battery-powered electronic devices worn on the body to automatically detect events like falls or seizures and send alert signals for help. These devices typically come in the form of patches, pendants, or wristbands and are designed to notify caregivers or emergency services when assistance is needed.

Such devices are generally regulated as medical devices and may be classified differently depending on the jurisdiction. They are intended for use in both home and healthcare settings and typically connect to communication systems like nurse call or home alert systems to notify appropriate personnel when activated.
